Bruce Lee was on Saki when he was talking about his Water Theory. Look at his shifty little eyes you can tell!

Well ill be a grappling monkey. My school has a Hapikido program, but ive never done it before. I have done judo so I could relate it to that. People in that class told me its like judo. HAPIKIDO the korean art right? we talking about the same thing?

Hmm, are you certified? Are you a member of an organization? What are you teaching? Do you have a good lawyer?

Yea you could get a black belt and a few books, and use your own experiences to open up a school in your garage... only bad thing would be the insurance! lol. In TKD you can train by yourself to achieve the next dan.. I think just a Black Belt would be fine to train a total newbie. A black belt usually takes 5 years or so.

We play 40 bux per level all the way up to 1st dan... 500 bux = Personal Bruce Lee Training!

You start off by having your whole body on the floor. Lean on your side with one of your arms across the floor parallel to your left color bone. Then push up with your other hand like a push-up motion while lifting one of your legs over the other. The idea is to get all of your weight on one leg and one arm, then push up with the other arm... Anyways, ive read this in may books.. Is it effective?

Heh, I cracked my nuckle once by puching someone in the teeth. A teeth punch is the dumbest thing u can do.

rofl, cats can also help in your forearm exercises!

In the 2D world, Mortal Combat reigns supreme. It has all the basic martial arts moves, blood, and special powers... its an all time great... Street Fighter is like Cartoon fighting lol.. In the 3D world, id have to say the original Tekken for the Saturn was the best...

Aikido is pillow fighting, and using your enemies energy and tons of philosophy... Hapikido is more like Judo with tons of contact, escaping holds, and wrestling.

I personally think training yourself is bullshit, go find a real instructor, not Mr. Tae Bo on your TV set.

If your school is a member of the WTF the ranks go by stripes... White - White/Yellow - Yellow - Yellow/green and so on... While ITF schools tend to go by fancy colors like.. White - Yellow - Orange - Green - Purple and so on... And if you go to a Billybob school they just make up belts and make you pay for them... ie, Camo Belts!

No kidding, cross training is a must. How bout you try Hapikido... then you will be able to fight on and off the ground with excellence. Hapikido is fun too.

Damn that is a total rip off... damn ITF... My schools tests are just 40 bux for every level... we are part of the WTF.. and I think they pay 10% to WTF or something like that...

Ok, I realize Bruce Lee was a legend, but his movies get old after seeing them 100 times. My favorite jackie chan movies as far as the fighting goes are... Drunken Master Who Am I My favorite movie as far as plot goes is.. Rumble in the Bronx Rush Hour 2 I have seen just about every Jackie Chan movie from the 80s and 90s, and recent.. The Chinese ones are ok but some of them are pretty lame.

No kidding, if the teacher lets that guy get away with it now... then what will be next? A sterile ballsack?

The basics are front and back stance... then they get more complex as you progress. Your footing changes, your approach, amount of time it takes to do the form... It really gets interesting.

So, in essence yourself is total darkness?

Too much... In my school there are 2 forms per level until you reach green... Then it goes 3 forms at a time... And finally at black you need to know 20 or so forms total!

What do you get when you clear your thoughts? Darkness. Before the world began there was Darkness, so what are we exactly trying to be one with?

Its amazing how the membership just sprawled from 270 to 311 in a week or so. Welcome! Kickbutt, I see that you take advantage of a free post everyone time a new person comes along! hehe!

I would make his hand heat up and glow red just like David Kerridean did in Kung Fu.

Too much White Belts, not enuf rights for us Color'd folk. Thats a hilarious article I must say.

So does it take 5 years to get out of the White Belt Level Classes? (white-yellow, white-orange, white-red, white-green, white-blue, white-black) Har har

Wow, is your instructors name Jim Harrison by chance?!? I think when it comes to Martial Arts you should choose a place that seems like a sports club with a family apnosphere, not some Ordained asshole working out of his garage.
